Patient's question:
Male, 5 months of illness/symptoms: Hernia Condition description: My baby got a hernia when he was one month old. The contents have been in the scrotum. I have to push it back into the abdomen with my hand. It falls back down when I strain. Now he is five months old. When is it a good time to have surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, hernia repair should be performed first in the anterior position. There is no age limit for surgery, and it is best to treat the hernia as early as possible to avoid strangulated hernia. Especially for pediatric hernias, we should pay more attention to the fact that hernia correctors cannot absolutely prevent potential life-threatening complications (intestinal strangulated obstruction). Long-term use may lead to skin ulcers, and even testicular discomfort and atrophy. Cross-check: They are not trapped in the scrotum, but they never return to the scrotum on their own. Only when I push them up can they enter the abdomen. Is it this dangerous? Is it this dangerous?
